Gene,Ned's too busy trying to figure out what happened to all those "OBJECTIONS" that were thrown out.:)The FoH nimbys are also getting their big guns ready to take on a cement plant in Ravena.:):)One solution to the vexing waste disposal problems is to stack tires etc. on those Nimbys and their practising Lawyers who have no solutions but an arsenal of lawsuits to milk the taxpayers and consumers with their delaying tactics.

Tom -

let's hear what you know about tire burning...

Do you have any idea what chemicals make up synthetic rubber? Can you tell us what chemicals are released when tires are burned? Have you done even the tiniest, most rudimentary research into this issue before you began shooting off your mouth?

I doubt it, judging by your past performance.

Google "tire burning" and "hazards." then read - then come back and let's have an informed discussion of this issue. You may want to inhale lungsful of dioxins - but those who would prefer to try to live cancer-free-lives, and would like to protect their children from unnecessary hazards may not.

Do you intend to oppose people's right to protect their children and families? Do you deny that dioxins are hazardous carcinogens - the most toxic carcinogens identified so far? Are you aware that concentrations of Dioxins too small to measure with current technology at the exhause stack are still large enough to have catastrophic effects?

Have you ever heard of "Cancer Alley?" Do you understand its implications for us?

Do you know anything at all about this subject beyond the fact that some people who you call "FoH NIMBYS" (and many other people including many in Greene and Rensselaer Counties who have never heard of FoH) are raising questions about the proposal? Or do you advise us once again to "trust the process," and do nothing - which seems to be what you do best.
